To Build A Nest (Of Real Lies)

I'VE FINALLY HAD ENOUGH
BUT I CAN'T DO ANYTHING.
‘CAUSE I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH COUNTERFEIT COURAGE
OR UNLIMITED RECKLESS WILLPOWER TO PUSH ME.
THE ENVIRONMENT I’VE GROWN UP IN
IS MEEK. IT KEEPS ME JUST A LITTLE POWERLESS
AND A LOT TOO WEAK.
STUBBORN, PROUD, AND IN COMPLETE DENIAL
I’M JUST OVER “TOO YOUNG” BUT UNDER “OLD ENOUGH”
TO PROWL THE STREETS WITH FERAL FEROCITY.
STILL, IT TAKES ONLY A WORLD OF RESTRAINED GRIEF-STRICKENED WRATH
AND A GLIMPSE OF POSSIBLE VEHEMENT PAINT-ME-BLACKS
THAT I CAN REIGN IN MY IMAGINATION, THOUGH JUST BARELY,
BECAUSE THE UNDERCURRENT, THRASHING-TO-BE-UNLEASHED,
ELECTRIFYING, IMMEASURABLE,
UNPREDICTABLE POTENTIAL POWER,
BORNE FROM THE POSEUR OF MY COWERING WEAKNESS
HIDING IN THE CORNER OF THE EMPTY CLOSET
AND PEERING FEARFULLY THROUGH THE LONE CRACK IN THE DOOR
OF THE ROOM WITH THE LIGHT ALREADY TURNED OFF
(AND HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST CENTURY OR TWO)IS RAGING WITHIN THE PERIPHERY OF MY JUVENILE MENTALITY
BURNING WITH THE RAVAGES OF TIME,
BURNING WITH A NEED TO BE RELEASED.
BUT I CAN'T DO ANYTHING.
‘CAUSE I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH COUNTERFEIT COURAGE
OR UNLIMITED RECKLESS WILLPOWER TO PUSH ME.
THE ENVIRONMENT I’VE GROWN UP IN
IS MEEK. IT KEEPS ME JUST A LITTLE POWERLESS
AND A LOT TOO WEAK.
STUBBORN, PROUD, AND IN COMPLETE DENIAL
I’M JUST OVER “TOO YOUNG” BUT UNDER “OLD ENOUGH”
TO PROWL THE STREETS WITH FERAL FEROCITY.
STILL, IT TAKES ONLY A WORLD OF RESTRAINED GRIEF-STRICKENED WRATH
AND A GLIMPSE OF POSSIBLE VEHEMENT PAINT-ME-BLACKS
THAT I CAN REIGN IN MY IMAGINATION, THOUGH JUST BARELY,
BECAUSE THE UNDERCURRENT, THRASHING-TO-BE-UNLEASHED,
ELECTRIFYING, IMMEASURABLE,
UNPREDICTABLE POTENTIAL POWER,
BORNE FROM THE POSEUR OF MY COWERING WEAKNESS
HIDING IN THE CORNER OF THE EMPTY CLOSET
AND PEERING FEARFULLY THROUGH THE LONE CRACK IN THE DOOR
OF THE ROOM WITH THE LIGHT ALREADY TURNED OFF
(AND HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST CENTURY OR TWO)IS RAGING WITHIN THE PERIPHERY OF MY JUVENILE MENTALITY
BURNING WITH THE RAVAGES OF TIME,
BURNING WITH A NEED TO BE RELEASED.

now this one was my favorite, not only was it in capital letters so people would know you were screaming it (so to say) but the words and just something about the feel of the poem made you feel the aggression which was WONDERFUL |
